Text-Em-All vs. Textmagic

We have found them to be very good for immediate communication of a brief message to a large number of people at once. Thus, it works perfectly for a neighborhood association. It may not be suitable for longer messages or situations with excessive notifications.

TextMagic is a wonderful solution for small businesses or non-profits just adding an SMS text service to their marketing outreach program. Very easy to set up and use. Customers seem to like SMS as a method of communication. Easily lets you keep in touch with them at a very nominal cost. Immediate feedback if they respond to your text on the dashboard through chat.

• Scheduled delivery: works as it should every time and is SUPER convenient.
• Mass contact upload: I was able to pull a report to excel and it loaded PERFECTLY to ‘Contacts’
• Feedback: if anyone doesn’t get the message, I will know almost immediately.

• Employees can connect via text messages using two-way chat messages.
• Emails can be converted to text messages and sent as SMS.

• My initial concern was regarding the "opt out" feature. I work with the senior population, and many of whom are not that tech-savvy. I have a couple of residents who had unintentionally opted out of messages thinking it was an individual message they were skipping. I would suggest that there be a clarifying question when a user chooses to opt out; it should default to opting out of a single message and survey the user to see if they would like to opt out of receiving additional messages. My residents were wondering why they were missing information and why I hadn't informed them of important dates and events.

• Connection between other services ERP, CRM and slack.
• Textmagic is a tool for kids who want to SMS chat.
• The possibility to change the SMS provider to Twilio or others. It is not legal to forbid that but they find a way to bypass that.

Text-Em-All is a great way to get messages to our associates versus posting on a memo board and hoping they see it. Very efficient. I would recommend this great tool to companies big or small as a form of business related communications. The only thing I would change is the ability to use more characters in the messages. And it would be a plus if you can translate to different languages in the app.

I am very happy with how TextMagic is working. I don't see a reason to spend time searching for another solution when this works great at a good price. Customers have shown a good response to the text messages we have send. Very small percentage unsubscribed (but that was automated/easy).

It's fantastic. In general, it's a 10. But I give it a 7 because of the way I know it can improve. I save my workers' names in lists...and I have only the first and last name fields to classify them. I grade my workers based on their experiences and based on their jobs; so I use the last name field to group them. This could be easier by you adding another field.

It has been very easy to use TextMagic to set up. The calculator showing character count which relates to cost is easy to see and adjust. The scheduling portion is also easy to set up and edit if needed. You can see history to copy wording if you need to. I have suggested to other friends that do not have a text service.

The availability of the text em all is amazing specially when we needed the most to spread out the word on an event that was happening.

I love the performance it provided us. Also, want to clarify that the time it takes to send out a mass text is amazing

There have been few times over the last 18 years that I have had to make changes to our billing or deal with particular tech questions and I have never had any issues with their response time or ability to be helpful once the issues were communicated

This was the best way we were able to reach out to everyone we wanted to, being that there were some not tech-sabi elderly people. This was a better way for them to be able to get the information they needed.

Our last provider was costly for what we needed. We need the ability to text, and that's it. The sense was challenging to navigate; I had to sign a one-year contract and pay thousands upfront. Text-em-all has been the best thing.

TextMagic just worked. Where Trello seemed like we needed to jump through a bunch of hoops to get it working, TextMagic was simple to set up. Everything seemed streamlined and easy to manage.

Seems like a fair price for the product

We have never had a problem being able to use Text em all when we needed it

• We definitely have a higher response rate when we contact applicants via text message; it seems to be the thing people check more often than email now.
• It saves us a lot of time wasted before with "phone tag" when employees are unable to immediately to take a call.

• It's just a small part of our communications with employees but they appreciate it very much!
• It is a very cost effective communications tool.
• There is no negative impact. I just need to remember to update the contact lists with any employee changes.
